Communication and Inclusion

Casey L. Woodfield, Clinical Research Associate

Casey Woodfield’s academic, professional, and personal interests are grounded in commitments to inclusion and communication as interrelated imperatives. Her research focuses on development and training of dynamic communication supports, inclusive educational practice, and the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities, particularly autism, who use augmentative and alternative communication. In addition to establishing reliable and sustainable support systems for communication and inclusion, her work aims to counter the socially constructed notions of competence and voice by privileging the perspectives of individuals with disabilities as critical agents of advocacy and change.
